Terminus: Split panes support

[csrgxtu]

could terminus support split screen

[faraazahmad]

Yes please! this is a much needed and appreciated feature for productivity

[marcelosuzumura]

I use terminator a lot on Ubuntu because of the split panels, but if I could split panes with Terminus, I'd surely switch over. Terminator is crashing a lot lately.

[rianquinn]

Split panes, and multiple windows are really needed to make this a more complete terminal emulator.

[renatn]

You can use Screen =) but i agree embedded feature much better

[youurayy]

Killer feature, e.g. when

• managing multiple servers simultaneously and need to observe all at once
• compiling in one view, observing reload script in another, having git in yet another, etc.

ConsoleZ has it, and very easy to create vertical splits by cmd+shift+E and horizontal splits by cmd+shift+O without limits.
Then it's possible to move between the splits in arrow-like nature: <some modifiers> + arrow -- will focus the next split up/down/left/right -- this is tricky if the splits aren't completely aligned, e.g. you have 1 vertical split with 3 horizontal splits on the left and 4 vertical splits on the right -- but let's say that the cursor will be moved to the split sharing the most _border_ area with the current split, as the user can always adjust with multiple movements. (that kind of navigation would be even better than what ConsoleZ currently has)

Yeah, I am gonna +1 on this request.
Right now I am swapping between a couple of different OSS terminal solutions:
1) ConEmu (via Cmder)
2) Hyper
3) Terminus

I like how your approach/choices are pushing towards ng2x+. That makes me feel like I could dig in and contribute one day if I really needed to. But at the same time, some of the other approaches currently have quite a bit more features I find handy - especially splitting a tab.

I am hoping that Terminus will get there one day, especially if we pipe up and voice a desire for the feature :) In the meantime, perhaps you can draw inspiration from those other tools...

Just discovered Terminus and really like it; it is a serious contender for taking over my puritanical sticking to windows console for WSL and CMD. But only because it looks nice and it installs easy on Windows... because I can't view things side by side, and I can't open more than one instance to instead arrange the instance as panes, this is actually worse in this regard than plain old console.exe >.< - mega +1 on this request

[youurayy]

In ConsoleZ, I can quickly build up the screen I like by pressing CTRL+Shift+O (new horizontal split) and CTRL+Shift+E (new vertical split). Then I've setup CTRL+arrows to move between the created windows.

Of course ConzoleZ (and others) depend on cmd.exe/WSH, so they are nasty drain on the OS resources.

@renatn
What is Screen?

[jwhipp]

I actually came here to comment on screen not being a replacement but, turns out it has that functionality. Here's a good blog on the subject:

https://tomlee.co/2011/10/gnu-screen-splitting/

Still, +1 for this being a built-in feature.

[taylorjdawson]

@jwhipp you were able to get screen splitting to work with Screen. What is your setup? I am using WSL and can't get it to work

[jwhipp]

@taylorjdawson I haven't used it personally, I tend to use terminator with the WSL. For a while Tilix was working but it's not now.

The article I linked goes over how to run it for the most part.

[Mezner]

I'd be interested in contributing this feature potentially. Any thoughts on how you'd like to go about doing it?

[Eugeny]

It should be possible to implement splitting itself by displaying "tab sets" in tabs instead of a single BaseTabComponent. There are however problems with rearranging the splits/panels as using any kind of looping (ngFor) or component nesting means that components will get recreated, destroying the current terminal state. This can be theoretically avoided by directly attaching the components via Angular ViewRefs

[dawin09]

I'm waiting for this feature so I can switch to terminus.

[kfir-drivenets]

Any updates on this issue?

[christian-ehrisman]

+1 for screen spliting. tmux/screen are great but it's incredibly convenient to have it built in the client.

[bastiao]

@Eugeny I saw that you close the ticket (duplicated tab). Is this issue of split panes also outside of roadmap of terminus for short time?

[Eugeny]

@bastiao this ticket isn't closed - and it's definitely on the roadmap!

[ScripterSugar]

+1 for this feature too. Really need it and very disappointed this is not yet implemented

[Hans941]

Yeah, this feature is really useful. Hoping ... +1.

[mquinnv]

mouse support for tmux would be sufficient for me

[bastiao]

@Eugeny you did it great! Thank you!
That's really change the way that we use terminus. I'm using nighly builds already.

[Eugeny]

@bastiao glad you liked it!

[ScripterSugar]

@Eugeny Also using nightly builds here. Totally satisfied with new feature. Great job.

[christian-ehrisman]

@Eugeny Another sincere thank you for split panes! It's very well done and lets me use terminus as my daily console driver.

[Eraldoe]

@Eugeny I think there is a bug with this feature. On Windows 10 running Terminus Alpha 73 when you click the divider bar to change the size of a split pane, it will deselect the bar (and thus stop moving the divider) if your cursor moves outside the bar. The effect is that you must drag the bar extremely slowly. Check out this gifv to explain what I mean. If I move quickly, the bar stops dragging.

Hi all! ¿Is it possible to implement split mode as it is on MobaXTerm, just splitting the terminal into two or more tabs instead of attatching one terminal into a tab via hotkeys as its being done now? Its the only thing left for me and my team to use it at work, its nice software what you are making Eugeny :)

[Wazbat]

For anyone finding this on google, the default keybinds don't work for me on Ubuntu. In the settings menu change "Split to the right" and "Split to the bottom" to something else. I'm using the numpad arrows with the same modifier as before

[jonesmith518]

nice feature!

[JamieCorkhill]

Is it possible to have different terminals/profiles in each pane? I.e, could I have Powershell top left, Bash top right, and normal Windows CMD on the bottom, for example?

Thanks.
